Application filed January 19, 1914. Serial No. 813,074.

T all whom/it may concern Be it known that I, MALCOLM Nnn. LEN- runs, a citizen of the United States, residing Province of Saskatchewan and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe-Valves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in globe valves; and an object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved valve of this general be assembled with convenience and facility and which operates with a maximum of efiiciency. I

Another object of the invention is to provide a globe valve of the above character which will possess advantages in points 0 eliiciencv and'durahility, is inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

' With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described. pointed ,out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view talren through a valve con tructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. .1; Fig. 4 is a side elevation illustrating the connecti n between the valve member and the stem; F ig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1: Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view of the valve member; Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the connecting member.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 indicates the body member of the valve which is provided with a transverse opening 2 having at each end thereof the internally threaded sleeves 3 which are adapted to be connected in any manner to the feed pipe. The body member 1 is provided at a central point with projecting p rtion 4 having a hollow extension 5 at i inner end'which is provided character which may an inwardly with alined openings 6 forming communication between the two ends of the opening 2.

Slidably mounted upon the members 4 and 5 is the valve 7 which is substantially circular in form and is of suflicient length to entirely inclose the two members 4: and 5.

The valve me her 7 is provided with alined openings 8 which'are adapted to correspond with the opening 6 when the valve is in its open position to permit free passage of steam, water or any. other similarmaterial and the valve member 7 is actuated through a reciprocatory movement. The body member 1 is providedaround' the circular member 4: with an annular recess 9 in which the lower end of the valve member is arranged whenthe same is in its closed position, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

From this it will be seen that when the valve is in its closed position. it will provide a water or air tight partition between the two ends of the opening 2. The valve member 7 is provided at its closed end with a stem 11 having upon its upper end a cup member 12 provided with an annular flange 13 which is adapted to correspond with the flange 14 formed on the cup 15. that the cup 15 is mounted upon the lower end of the valve stem 16 and the two flanges 13 and 14 are. to be riveted or otherwise securely fastened together.

The body of the valve is provided with an outward projection 17 having-a central opening therein in which is arrange removable plug 18. said plug being provided at its inner end with a suitable chamber 19 in which the connecting member which constitutes the cup members 12 and 15 is'movable. The stem 16 is provided with an enlarged threaded portion 19' which is movable within the threaded bore 20 formed within the plug 18. The plug 18 is provided with a hollow extended portion 21 provided with a central partition 22 whichiorms an upper socket 28having suitable packing 24 arranged therein which is tightly fitted around the valve stem 25 upon the upper end of which is mounted a handwheel 26. The stem 25 is adapted to be removably secured to the upper end of the enlarged por tion 19' and is rotatably mountedwithin the partition 22 and within the packing plug 27. This packing plug 27 is securely held in position by means ofthe removable cap 28.

It will'be apparent 1 adapted to The lower extremity of the valve 16 is provided with a head 16 adapted to coact with the cups 12 and 15 to afford a swivel connection between the stems 1.1 and 16, for a purpose which is believed to be self-evident.

The plug 18 is securely held in position by means of a removable collar 29 which is adapted for threaded engagementwith the reduced portion 30 formed upon the upper end of the portion 17. The collar 29 is engage the annular flange 31 periphery of the plug 18 to securely hold the plug in position. The plug 18 is provided with a suitable bore 32 through which oil or other lubricant may be inserted within the valve member.

From the above, it will be readily apparent that should it be desired to remove the plug 18, the collar 29 is disengaged from the reduced portion 30 and then slipped out over the reduced portion 21. It will also be apparent that by having the threaded portion 19' arranged within the plug, the turning movement of the hand wheel 26 will readily impart a reciprocating movement to the valve 7. In Fig. 1, the valve is illustrated in its closed position and when it is desired to open the same or bring the openings 6 and 8 into alinement so as to provide a continuous passage through the pipe 10, the hand wheel 26 is grasped and rotated so as to impart a reciprocatory movement to the valve'member. It will also be apparent that my device is extremely simple in construction and can be manufactured at a comparatively low cost.

While I have shown and-described the preferred form of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details ofconstruction and in the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carrying my invention into practice without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim isz- 1. A device of the class described including a body member having a transverse opening and further provided with a longitudinal opening communicating therewith, an inwardly extending portion adapted to project across the transverse opening and extend into the longitudinal opening, said extension being provided with a transverse opening, a vaLve member substantially circular in form and'movably mounted upon said extended portion, said valve member being provided at its inner end with a trans verse opening adapted to communicate with the opening in the extension, a plug arformed upon the ranged within the outer end of the longitudinal opening, a threaded member mounted for rotary and reciprocatory movement within said plug, a stem formed upon each Copies 01' this patent may be obtained for five cents each,

3. A device of the class described includ ing a body member having a transverse opening, an inwardly extending portion adapted to project across said opening and provided with an opening, a valvemember movably mounted upon said extended portion and provided with an opening adapted to communicate with the opening in the extended portion, an extension formed on said body, a plug arranged therein, a threaded member mounted for rotary reciprocating movement within said plug, a stem formed upon each end of the threaded member, one of said stems having loose connection with the valve member, the other stem extending upwardly through the plug,packing arranged around the outer end of said stem, means removably secured to the outer end of said plug to retain the packing in position, and a hand wheel carried by the outer end of said stem, whereby to rotate the threaded member and reciprocate the valve to open and close the opening in the body member.
